Jucundior, quam lecta de pinguissimis
Oliva ramis arborum.
[3070] Literally, the “bald crow.” Pliny, B. xi. c. 47, says that it is an aquatic bird: and naturalists generally identify it with the cormorant, the Pelecanus carbo of Linnæus.
[3071] Literally, the red crow, the chocard of the Alps, the Corvus pyrrhocorax of Linnæus.
[3072] The “hare’s foot.” Identical with the snow partridge, the Tetrao lagopus of Linnæus; it is white in winter.
[3073] The same bird, Cuvier says, as seen in summer, being then of a saffron colour, with blackish spots.
[3074] Cuvier remarks, that the green courlis, the Scolopax falcinellus of Linnæus, which is not improbably the real ibis of the ancients, is by no means uncommon in Italy.
[3075] “Novæ aves.” The grey partridge, Hardouin thinks.
[3076] Flamingo.
[3077] See B. xi. c. 44.
